The Road Less Traveled
by Jacquie F. Galvin
Hoover Dam: An Engineering Feat of Wonder
Our latest stop is one of the wonders of the world. Hoover Dam, which started life as Boulder Dam, is not only a magnificent feat of design and engineering, but a life-saving compromise for the southwest states back in the 1920s and ‘30s in need of power and water.
What we like about this landmark is that it’s a dam good ending for A Tease of Murder, our giveaway book releasing soon. Our hero is trying to clear his name and his company’s integrity and ends up at this historic, iconic location. Someone does not make it out of the tour. You can find out who the unlucky victim is by reading A Tease of Murder .
The Avocado Tree Project
On the road less traveled recently found us in the quaint, eclectic city of Gulfport, FL. The Tuesday Fresh Market features a labyrinth of vendors lining the main drag. In the midst of lotions, art and jewelry, we found a woman who incorporates all of these into her offerings. Please meet Dimitra Pastras, founder of the Avocado Tree Project.
Big Love, Big Easy
Ever get that little itch to stretch your legs in a different state? That’s exactly how my husband, Charlie, and I felt two weekends ago. So, where does one go for an outrageously good time? New Orleans, baby!
Beyond Van Gogh
If you’ve ever wanted to be a part of a painting by one of the great art masters, now until August 5th, you can immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the Beyond Van Gogh exhibit. This international presentation brings to life the story and works of one of the most lauded artists in history.
